CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
Detection and correction of imbalances in the cranial bones (head), dural tube (spinal cord membrane), and sacrum requires a touch of no more than 5 grams, the weight of a small coin. The therapist releases and resolves the restrictions in the bones and membranes with delicate manual techniques. You will benefit from the deep sense of tranquility CST provides. Good for headaches, nervous tension, neck tension, moodiness, fogginess and feelings of imbalance.
Rhythm is the Key to Life: All life moves in rhythms. The cardiopulmonary system has blood circulation and breath rhythm. The seasons have a rhythm from summer to winter. Day has a rhythm that turns into night. Without the regularity of these rhythms, the body, and the mind, may experience disturbance, imbalance, and ultimately, dis-ease.
"Gloria's craniosacral work helped me finally find relief from headaches that no pill ever provided. " - Carol R., 61 yr.
Bones and Membranes as the Rhythm Pump: The CranioSacral system consists of bones, membranes and cerebrospinal fluid. The CS system spans from two regions of bone, the cranium (consisting of the skull, face and mouth bones) and the sacrum. Connecting these two regions are the membranes – dura mater, arachnoid membrane and pia mater. As one, these tissues create a semi-closed hydraulic pump system that bathes the spinal cord and brain in the cerebrospinal fluid that, like blood, provides vital nourishment and detoxification, and protects the brain and spinal cord. When this system is healthy, it has a rhythm that properly balances and energizes the functioning of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.
Normal Daily Functioning: Since this vital system influences the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord, any imbalance or restriction in it can potentially cause or exacerbate many neurological or neuromuscular impediments. These impediments may begin during developmental phases of life, or may be a result of trauma or stress. The ultimate effect may be a loss of normal daily functioning, and the full enjoyment of life.
Alleviate Pain and Tension: CST is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms. Healing doesn’t have to be painful: CST detects these imbalances with a touch of no more than 5 grams, the weight of a small coin. The therapist then releases and resolves the restrictions in the bones and membranes with delicate manual techniques. You will benefit also from the deep sense of harmony and tranquility that CST provides.
"Until cranioscral sessions with Gloria, I had high stress, anxiety and mild depression that seemed to be a way of life. I feel lighter, calmer, and more consciously aware." - Anne Z., 49 yr
Experience Greater Freedom: ree of restrictions, you and your body will feel lighter, happier, stronger, and able to return to higher levels of performance.
For Your Visits: CST is performed on a person fully clothed. Please do not eat large, heavy meals and avoid alcohol prior to your visit. Come well hydrated, and do your best to get a good night’s sleep. Your session may also be performed in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques.
